Probably already been posted on here, apologies if so. But incase anyone has missed it, I think this is a cracking interview with JV.

What a modest, down-to-earth, first rate fella - as well as our very own GOAT.

A lot of the media personalities and pundits are fixated on the title win obviously. But it's unbelievable what he's managed outside of that too which really sets him aside as our greatest ever from the other title winners. This list doesn't even do him justice, there's so much more!

 

Part of the Championship side that came up in the first place. Then goals like West Brom away in the Great Escape which effectively lead the momentum to keep us up. He was also among the highest PL assists that season!

 

Represented us for England at Euro 2016 (and later the 2018 WC) scoring that equaliser against Wales! In fact most goals scored by an England player while at Leicester.

 

Scored in both knockout rounds of our first season in the Champions League

 

As well as scoring in Europa League and semi finalist in the Conference League (furthest run we've ever gone)

 

PL Golden Boot winner (could have also had it in 15/16 had he put the second pen away vs Everton)

 

PL goal of the season (again arguably robbed in 15/16 with the Liverpool goal too)

 

Managed score in 8 PL goals in a row (after the 11). Only him and RVN have reached that milestone twice

 

Only player to score a hattrick home and away against a Pep Guardiola side

 

Hattrick in record 9-0 away vs Southampton

 

League Cup semi finalist

 

FA Cup winner (only player to have played in every round through his career - most with us)

 

Community shield winner (also scored our first goal at the new Wembley in first community shield vs Man Utd)

 

Consistently been our top striker in the league under multiple managers and strike partners/systems

 

To get relegated, spearhead another Championship win as top scorer and Captain. And as shambolic as this season has been at 38, he's still our top scorer. 

 

Third on the all time club list for both goals and appearances with 200 in 500. 14th on the all time PL goalscorers. The most scored by any player after the age of 30 (only he has reached the 100 mark).

 

No one and I mean no one will ever come close to replicating even half of that from the stage and level of his career we brought him from. Iconic

He also scored against Italy, Germany, Spain and Holland, Turkey and Wales (when they were decent) in his short international team. Would have been great if had got more game time in the important matches

There's probably some stage of researched grief but I'm not ready for this.

 

I have been trying not to think too much about it since Sunday but I am absolutely not ready to look back. It's enough looking forward.

 

It's only a center forward leaving a football team but my ****ing word I'm going to miss watching Jamie Vardy play football for Leicester.

 

It might even have impacted how much I enjoy watching football full stop.

The biggest travesty is that he should have retired here. That would have been marginally less shit.

[HybridFox]

I desperately want him to go abroad than play for another club here (ideally would have just retired). But if his wish is to stay in England, I really hope one of the big clubs take a chance on him (no that does not include Spurs!) even if marketing ploy just for a season. Just so he gets to experience it and score the remaining goals to get to 150 with competent players to assist.

 

It would break my heart to see him at absolute fodder who were below us not long ago. Even clubs like Villa and Wolves wouldn't sit right with me at all

Perversely, if that happens then good.

Didn't all our winning squad get street names for them in some new housing development somewhere? (IIRC)

Am i alone in not giving a **ck. I have the memories, the photos and when i need them the youtube clips. Rather have those than seeing Vardy Road near the stadium. For now at least. Always feel its best to give these things some time, especially when the player is moving somewhere else. 

 

I'd like to see it one day, but immediately - nah - im not fussed. 

 

I reckon i burned 1000 calories when that goal went in on sunday. Those are the moments i will cherish.

It would just sum us up to have a statue of a bloke who is going to score against us next season. 

 

Probably wont happen but time is indeed needed imo.

A lovely interview by Tyler. Ir still brought a tear to my eye watching Morgan lift that League winning Trophy.

This would be so sad….

Could Vardy make shock move to Palace?

Jamie Vardy has been linked with a shock move to FA Cup winners Crystal Palace, according to The Independent.

Vardy - who scored his 200th goal for Leicester on his 500th game for the club last weekend - will leave the King Power when his contract expires this summer.

The 38-year-old is said to be keen to remain in the Premier League and the Eagles are one of the club's interested in offering him a deal.

Vardy is just five goals away from 150 in the Premier League, a feat only 11 players have achieved

I’d love to know what’s gone on. It’s something deeper than him just wanting to leave I think, Rudkin still sat in the stands on his ceremony wasn’t he. Fair play to him wherever he goes he’s the best we’ll ever see playing for this club. Legend

Just going back over my post from few days ago. 100% Vardy knew about these issues and doesn’t fancy spending the rest of his career in the championship. It was a good send off but when you watch it back something was going on behind closed doors. Can’t fault him for getting out.

Why? 

 

He's good enough for 1 more year in the PL. He deserves it and doesn't owe LCFC anything. I'd rather seen him play at the highest level than disappear off to Scotland, Saudi or MLS. 

 

Rooting for him to get to 151 PL goals.

It just signifies our complete collapse that he is leaving us to move to Crystal Palace. But yeah on the face of it, FA Cup champions, playing in the Europa League next season, based in London. Yeah it is a good move. 
 

It just stings that Palace are now so ahead of us. But the same goes for Fulham, Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, Forest, all smallish clubs that we have been ahead of who have now overtaken us.

 

151 the Owen reference I presume?
